Questions are powerful. Questions lead you to truth and closer
relationships. I think one of the most powerful questions
you can ask someone is, simply: “How are you?” Ask this question to a friend, neighbor, co-worker, or stranger.
Then, listen. Really listen. Most people would love to have a safe and caring
person/place/community where they can share how they’re really doing. Most
people rarely get to share what’s really going on because 1) they’re rarely
asked and/or 2) most people don’t listen, but instead simply take turns waiting
to talk. Good listening is a byproduct of understanding grace and how the
human heart works. As I’ve written before: grace creates safety (which includes an environment of
listening), which creates change. How are you? It’s a great question be asked, and it’s a great
question to ask. Justin Buzzard - Christian
